It Had to Be You by Lizzy Charles
4.0
*I received this book as an arc from NetGalley and all thoughts are my own!*
I actually really liked this book. The premise is really cute and the two main characters, James and Edelweiss, were so cute together. Plus, I just love the fake dating trope. It's my favorite. (And I feel like it made it all the more interesting that it was set at a boarding school.) This book was so cute and fluffy and would be a great short read for anybody who wants a cute little romance.
Though, the characters were pretty trope-y. James is a fantastic football player, master prankster, super popular, and a total hit with the ladies. Only to find out that he has some flaws and he has really good grades that only makes him even more appealing in Edel's eyes. Now, Edelweiss, she's the new girl. She could be considered as "not like the other girls" because of how she grew up and how she traveled the world with her parents all of her life. And, of course, she is super pretty and smart too. So, if those kinds of "typical" characters bother you, you may not want to read this book. I personally don't mind tropes so I really enjoyed this book regardless.
I would definitely recommend this book! :)
